1. Method number 1

   a) juice is squeezed out of the berry and defended in a cold place. The oil will float to the surface and be skimmed off. The oil obtained in this way is considered to be of the highest quality.
   b) the cake remaining after squeezing the juice is additionally crushed, poured vegetable oil, insist and separate by conventional pressing. This oil is lighter and it is valued much lower.
   c) juice is squeezed out of the berry, the remaining cake is dried, ground in a coffee grinder, poured olive oil, insist 2-3 weeks, then filtered and stored in a dark bottle.
   

2. Method number 2

   Juice is squeezed out of sea buckthorn berries and allowed to stand in a cold place in a glass jar with a tightly closed lid. The sea buckthorn oil contained in the fruit floats to the surface when settling. It is removed and poured into a dark glass bottle. The oil obtained in this way is considered to be of the highest quality. 100 grams of berry mass remaining after squeezing the juice is poured with 500 ml of sunflower oil (odorless). Insist for a week, after which it is filtered, squeezed and poured into a dark glass bottle. Store in a dark cool place.

3. Method number 3

   Grind the dried fruits. The resulting mass is placed in glass jar and pour refined vegetable oil, preheated to 45 - 50 degrees. The oil should cover the crushed fruits. Close the jar tightly with a lid and place it in a dark place for seven days, stirring the contents daily with a wooden spoon (metal is not allowed). After the expiration of this period, squeeze the oil and filter. The resulting oil will contain from 5 to 15% sea buckthorn oil.
   The resulting sea buckthorn oil can be significantly enriched. To do this, it is heated to 40-50 degrees and a fresh portion of crushed dry cake is poured with this oil. Having again carried out all the above operations, a 1.5-2 times more concentrated sea buckthorn oil is obtained. After several such enrichments, sea buckthorn oil can be obtained in a very high concentration, although there is no particular need for this.
   The cake remaining after pressing the oil can be refilled with heated vegetable oil and, after doing all the same operations, a weaker concentrate (1-2%) of sea buckthorn oil is obtained, suitable for external use.

4. Method number 4

   Clean fresh fruits from debris, select good ones, rinse them and dry them. Then juice is squeezed out of the fruit. After a while, it delaminates into several layers. The upper, thick orange layer consists of oil, skin remnants, and pericarp cells. Carefully remove this layer with a spoon, place in a glass jar and pour the same volume of cold boiled water. Mix the contents of the jar. After a while, the oily mass will again gather on the surface, and the remnants of the skin will float in the water. Carefully remove the oil and pour water again, mix, let stand and remove the oily layer again. So repeat 3-4 times. After that, pour the oily mass with vegetable oil heated to 40 degrees and let it settle for 3-4 days. The oil formed on top is removed, and the remaining mixture is again filled with water, removing a new layer of oil, and so on several times. The resulting sea buckthorn oil must be defended several times, drained from the sediment, until it is cleared.

5. Method number 5

   This is more complex but very effective method obtaining sea buckthorn oil at home. fresh berries sort, rinse and pass through a juicer so that very little juice is squeezed out. Pour the resulting juice into a glass jar and put for several days in a dark, cool place. Dry the cake left after squeezing the juice in the oven at a temperature of 40-60 degrees. After 4-5 days, the juice will separate into two layers. The upper layer is denser, which contains oil, and the lower one is liquid. The top layer is carefully removed and dried along with the cake. The jar of juice is again placed in a dark and cool place and after a while the top layer is again removed and dried. This operation is carried out again. Pass the dried cake through a meat grinder and part of it (about 500 g), place in enamel pan and pour one liter of any vegetable oil. Put the pan in the oven and leave to languish for 1-1.5 hours at a temperature of 60 degrees. Next, squeeze the mass in a juicer. As a result, enriched oil will be obtained, which must be poured over the next fresh batch of cake and placed again in the oven for 1-1.5 hours. This operation must be repeated several times. As a result, the oil, repeatedly poured into new portions of cake, is enriched with sea buckthorn oil, acquiring a bright orange color and a characteristic smell.

6. Method number 6

   Squeeze the juice from the berries, and dry the remaining pulp well in a shaded, dry, ventilated area. You can also dry it in the oven, but at a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Then crush the pulp in a meat grinder with a fine mesh or in a coffee grinder. Place the crushed pulp in a glass jar and pour with refined olive oil, heated to a temperature of 50-60 degrees. From 0.5 to 1 kg of pulp is taken per kilogram of oil. Then you can use the "cold", very long technology. In this case, the mixture must be kept for ten days at room temperature in a shaded place. Then filter through cheesecloth and squeeze tightly. Pour a new portion of crushed pulp with the resulting sea buckthorn oil. After 10 days, filter the oil, squeeze and drain into a bottle. But it must be taken into account that sea buckthorn oil obtained by the "cold" method is of poor quality, lower concentration, more acidic, contaminated. It is poorly preserved and, when taken orally, with gastric diseases, is worse tolerated.

7. Method number 7

   Sea buckthorn oil does not have these shortcomings, which is obtained in a faster, “hot” way. Pour the dried crushed mass, as in the first case, into a glass jar and pour at the rate of: one kilogram of pulp per kilogram of oil, put in an oven with a temperature of 60 degrees and stand for an hour and a half (the mixture can also be heated in a water bath ). After that, squeeze out the oil with a juicer. Then pour a fresh portion of pulp with the pressed and enriched oil, put in the oven for 1-1.5 hours at the same temperature, then squeeze and pour fresh pulp again. Do this three to six times. After the first pressing, do not throw away the pulp, but pour it over again with fresh oil, warm it up and squeeze it again, thus obtaining a second, no less saturated portion of sea buckthorn oil. And only then the pulp, in which there is almost no sea buckthorn oil left, is thrown away. Oil prepared according to hot technology stored for no more than 12 months.

   This method makes it possible to obtain sea buckthorn oil of extremely high concentration, thick, red-orange color, with a pleasant aroma of sea buckthorn. It must be filtered through a nylon cloth, poured into dark bottles, corked tightly and stored.

8. Method number 8

   Rinse sea buckthorn berries, dry and squeeze the juice. Rinse the cake with the seeds and dry in hot oven 30–40 minutes. Every 10 minutes, you need to pull out the baking sheet and quickly mix everything. Then grind the seeds and cake in a coffee grinder, the finer the grinding, the better. Divide the resulting mass into three equal parts. In the manufacture of sea buckthorn oil, proportions must be observed: for three faceted glasses of cake, you need 0.5 liters of unrefined oil. Fry a glass of cake in a pan for 2-3 minutes, leave and cover with a lid. Simultaneously in enamelware pour in 0.5 liters of unrefined oil and heat without boiling. Prepare dry, clean glass liter jar. Pour hot oil into it and pour in the roasted still warm cake. Shake well and put for 10 days in a dark cool place. And hide two glasses not fried, they will be needed later. On the 11th day, take out a jar of oil and strain it through a fine strainer. Discard the cake, take out the second portion of non-roasted cake and carry out the same operations with it as with the first portion. We heat the oil infused on the first portion of the cake, pour the second portion of the cake into it and hide it again for 10 days. Do the same procedures with the third portion of the cake. After 30 days, strain the oil and pour into a ceramic bottle, cork tightly and leave to stand for 10 days. Throw away the pulp.
